JAKARTA - DKI Jakarta Governor Anies Baswedan made a pilgrimage to the grave of Mohammad Husni Thamrin this morning, Wednesday, November 10. This pilgrimage coincides with the commemoration of Heroes' Day.

In this pilgrimage, Anies became the inspector of the ceremony in commemoration of Heroes Day which was attended by the ranks of the DKI Jakarta Forkopimda at the Jakarta City Hall Courtyard.

"This morning we together with Bamus Betawi made a pilgrimage to the tomb of MH. Thamrin. We know MH. Tamrin is the name of the main street in downtown Jakarta," said Anies at DKI City Hall, Central Jakarta, Wednesday, November 10.

From now onwards, Anies will create a new tradition. Every November 10, the DKI Provincial Government will commemorate Hero's Day by visiting the tomb of MH. Thamrin, at TPU Karet Bivou, Central Jakarta.

"God willing, this will become a new tradition, that every November 10 there is a pilgrimage at the Karet Bivak TPU, Central Jakarta, where Muhammad Husni Tamrin is buried," said Anies.

In the mandate of the Hero's Day ceremony, Anies advised that emulating the services of heroes can be done by prioritizing the public interest and the interests of the nation above personal interests. He then linked it to the pandemic condition. This is because for almost two years the DKI Jakarta Provincial Government has been fighting for the control of COVID-19, which has an impact on various aspects of life.

"At this time, we see so many heroes and individuals who choose to save others, from medical treatment to funeral arrangements, providing vaccination services, to preparing applications for millions of people to register for vaccines," said Anies.

Anies views that all those involved in handling COVID-19, especially in DKI Jakarta, are today's heroes.

"We can see for example, when vaccine registration was so easy, behind it all there were people who worked unseen, but the benefits were felt by many people. Those are our heroes. Today we witnessed our families being taken to the hospital, then sent to "During the process, they don't necessarily see each other's faces, because they are covered by masks, PPE, and they are also our heroes," he explained.
